Can someone near Duffield write a marketing plan for a business that mostly runs on word of mouth?
Yes. North Bear Media, run by Norton Hunt five minutes up the A6 in Belper, writes marketing plans for Duffield businesses that win work by recommendation, so what people find on Google and in AI assistants like ChatGPT backs up what they’ve heard. The £295 Marketing MOT is the first step.
In Duffield most of the work comes by recommendation.
Businesses here live on their reputation: word of mouth and people coming back.
The marketing’s job is to back that up, because the first thing anybody does with a recommendation is look you up. A plan for a Duffield business makes sure what they find matches what they were told, and that comes down to a website that looks the part and reviews people can find.
People round here expect a lot, too. Whether you’re an independent in the village or one of the trades working up and down the Ecclesbourne valley, your customers are used to things done properly, and a dated first impression gets judged harshly. I make sure yours isn’t.
It matters with ChatGPT now as well, because people ask it for a recommendation the way they’d ask a neighbour. Belper’s five minutes away, so we sit down together, at yours.

Where I’d start, for a business that runs on recommendations.
Start with the MOT, because most of it checks what somebody finds when they look you up.
It’s £295 for six checks, starting with what ChatGPT says about you, then Google and the rest, and it’s back within 48 hours with a score out of 100. For a business that lives on recommendations, the reviews check is the one to read first, because reviews are a big part of what ChatGPT goes on.
You’ve got a business to run, so let me keep you visible, filming on site every quarter so there’s always something new to show. That’s Found & Filmed at £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, so if it’s not working you stop.

From a chat in Duffield to a plan that backs up your name.
Here’s how I go about it.

We pin down where your recommendations come from, and who keeps sending people your way.
- 02 //
What they find
I look you up the way a new customer does, on Google and by asking ChatGPT, and write down what comes back.
- 03 //
The plan
I write up what to fix first, so what people find matches what they’ve heard, then we go through it together.

Keeping it current
Reviews and the website need keeping up, so we check regularly that what people find is still right.

Common questions about marketing strategy in Duffield.
How much does marketing strategy cost in Duffield?
For a Duffield business, start with the Marketing MOT, a fixed £295 that checks what a new customer sees when they look you up. Found & Filmed is £995 a month for the ongoing work, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way.
Do I need a big budget for marketing?
No. If most of your work comes by recommendation, much of the plan is making sure people find a website and reviews that back that up, and that’s rarely the expensive part.
How quickly will I see results?
Fixing what people see when they look you up shows fast, because that’s your website and your reviews. Showing up more on Google or in ChatGPT’s suggestions builds over time, and I’ll give you the best chance of it. You’ll have the MOT within 48 hours of paying.
Can you handle the execution too?
Yes. Found & Filmed is £995 a month and covers hosting and care of your website as well as keeping you found on Google and in AI search. That’s far less than a full-time hire, with no training and no kit to buy. A new website is priced after a quick chat.
What makes you different from a big agency?
You deal with me the whole way through, and I’m five minutes away in Belper if anything on the plan needs talking through. A couple of remote specialists help with some of the marketing, but there’s no account manager in the middle.
We get most of our work by word of mouth. Do we need a strategy?
Yes, and it’s a smaller one than you’d expect. Most people check a recommendation online before they get in touch, so the plan makes sure what they find backs up what they’ve heard.

What else I do round Duffield.
The plan will point at some of these, so here’s everything else I do round here.
When somebody in Duffield gets told about you and looks you up, what do they actually find?
The MOT finds out. I write down exactly what Google and ChatGPT say about you, and it’s back within 48 hours. Or book a call if you want to talk first.
